Cameron Highlands is Malaysia's premier hill resort and the largest of them all. Low temperatures all year round allow terraced flower gardens, strawberry farms, tea plantations, orchards and vegetable gardens. Cabbages, tomatoes, carrots, green peppers and lettuce supplied by the plantations in Cameron have earned it the title "Green Bowl of Malaysia".

Tucked away serenely amidst the clouds 1,829 metres above sea level, the cool fresh air on the highlands offers an attractive retreat for city dwellers who want to retreat temporarily from the noise and pollution in the city.

The cool, frost-free climate is also an ideal and excellent condition for the cultivation of tea. Tea cultivated on Cameron Highlands is among some of the best tea found in the country. Verdant green hillsides planted with young tea plant greet you as you drive slowly up the meandering road to the three townships of Ring let, Tanah Rata and Brinchang. The fresh mountain air will reveal just how prestige this mountain top gateway is, especially for those who want to unwind and relax amongst the cool serenity of the highlands.

First discovered in 1885 by a British surveyor William Cameron, the fame of Cameron Highlands grew during the colonial era when British Planters realised the potential of its fertile mountain slopes for growing tea, then a prized commodity among the colonies.

Families of these Britishers stationed in Malaya at the time also took to hills in a respite from the hot weather and rubber plantations. Some of the bungalows left behind are still being preserved for viewing by tourist, with a few facilities added for the conveniences of visitors.

Since then, Cameron Highlands, with its cool temperate surroundings has developed into a favoured getaway among honeymooning couples as the beauty and tranquility of this captivating plateau has cast its spell of enchantment over locals and visitors alike.

Blue skies, clear streams and profusion of colourful flowers add to the splendour of this magnificent holiday site. Truely, a visit to Pahang would not be complete without a trip up to Cameron Highlands.
